ERA vs SPF

[RICK LAKE]

madmaxx Max ERA is in the high 700 or very low 800. This is for the SC model. The Fia cars may only be in the low 100's numbers. GT-40 are maybe 30-40 total. My father used to say that even the sun shines on a dogs a$$ every once in a while. If you sold your car and made a profit, you are a lucky guy or found a person that knows nothing about a cobra and wants to drive it home today or you did alot more work on the car than you said you did and it showed. IMO cobra are either brought with people who are loaded or guys like me that save for 20+ years to buy a dream. SPF or FFR have built more cars in 1 month than ERA builds in one year. Both these companies have 30-40 guys maken cars, getting parts, installing, and repairing cars. ERA has 10 and 3 of them are part time. Except for motors and painting, everything is done in house. Jag rearends are not as easy to rebuild as a 9" or 8.8 ford rearend. I think in building your car you forgot all the hours you spent in the garage. The 1:00am kick to your shoe from the other half saying come to bed. You are sleeping under the other misstress. The average to put a cobra together is about 100 hours, times $25.00 per hour for labor, misc supplys, soda, WATER, beer, and that nice electric bill from running the lights to 1:00 am in the morning. I think you broke even. Rick L.
